That Macon Speech.

Judge Thurman, in his address to the
Thurman Club, at Columbus, O., on last
Saturday night, doubtless spoke much more
harshly than he intended of Gen. Henry
R. jackson, if he is correctly reported. 1t
is not improbable that he is made TO say in
the public prints things
which he did not say. 1t
does not appear that reporter was present.
In fact, it is stated that the address was
made only to members and invited guests.
If the report of the remarks relating to
Gen. jackson were furnished by some mem
Der or guest of the club. the day after the
address was delivered, there is a chance that
it is not entirely correct.
There can be no doubt however, that
what Mr.. Thurman did say was of a char
acter to create something of a sensation.
The speech which Gen. jackson delivered
at Macon has been commented upon all over
the country, and the comments have not
been of a friendly character. Nothing that
has appeared in the newspapers, however,
has been quite so personal and uncompli-
mentary as the remarks of Judge Thurman.
The fact that he is distinguished leader of
the Democratic party, and for long time
occupied high public position will cause
more attention to be paid to his attack upon
Gen. Jackson than if he were compare
lively unknown man.
Judge Thurman is very old man, and is
doubtless much more irritable than he was
when he took much more active part in
politics. He has been watching the present
a
to the extent that his strength has permitted
him, has taken part in it. He doubt
less noticed with satisfaction that
the people were getting tired of
the bloody shirt speeches of Senator Sher-
man and Gov. Foraker, and that they list
ened with pleasure to Gen. Gordon eloquent
appeals for harmony and the burying of
dead sectional issues, and applauded them.
For a distinguished Southerner, there
fore, who had been honored by the
present National administration, to
place in the hands of the bloody
shirt speakers another weapon with which
to undo much of the work which Gen. Cor
don and other Democratic orators had done,
and this at the very close of the campaign,
when there was no time to explain and to
correct misapprehensions, and false impress
sions, doubtless seemed to him to be the
height of folly which deserved the strongest
condemnation.
But whatever opinion Judge Thurman
might have entertained of Gen. Jacksons
speech, or of the wisdom of delivering it at
the time he did, he certainly ought to have
expressed it, if he expressed it at all, in a way
that would not expose him to the charge of
lack in courtesy to gentlemen who is wor-
thy of his respect. The insinuation that
Gen. Jackson's relations with the govern
ment as Minister to Mexico were severed
because he was too free in the use of in
toxicating liquors was clearly unjust. Gen.
jackson does not drink TO excess, and there
was no scandal of any kind connected with
him while he represented this country in
Mexico

When the Frost is on the Punlxir

When the Frost is on the Punkin.
When the frost is on the punkin and the fod-
der's in the shock.
And you hear the kyouck and gobble of the
struttin' turkey cock,
And the cackin of the guineys and the cluckin'
of the hens,
And the rooster hallylooler as he tiptoes on the
fence;
o, it's then the times Teller is feeling at his
best,
With the risin' sun to greet him from night of
peaceful rest,
AS he leaves the house bareheaded and goes out
to feed the stock,
When the frost is on the punkin and the folders
in the shock.
Theys something kind o. hearty like about the
atmosphere
When the heat of summers over and the GOBLIN
fall is here
OF course, we miss the flowers and the bios
SONS on the trees,
And the humble of the hummin birds an buzz
Tin Of the bees;
But the airs so appetizin', and the landscape
OF a crisp and sunny morning of the early au-
tumn days
Is pictur' that no painter has the colorin' to
mock
When the frost is on the punkin and the folders
in the shock.
The husky, rusty rustic of the tassels of the
corn,
And the raspin of the tangled leaves, as golden
as the morn;
The stubble in the furries-kind o. lonesome
like, but still
A-preachn sermons to us of the barns they
growed to fill;
The straw-stack in the medder and the reaper
in the shed:
The bosses in their stall below-the clover over
head
o. it sets my heart clickin like the ticl1n' Of a
clock,
When the frost is on the punkin and the folders
in the shock.

Con. Gordon's Wife.
Ftom the Col,smb,ls (Ol Dismal,

FROM We COtnmOuS (O.) DtSpdtch.
The wife of Gen. Gordon is a woman at whose
feet the greatest of earth might bow, and think
it an honor. If ever there breathed noble
woman, II ever there lived devoted wife, that
woman and that wife is Mrs. John B. Gordon.
From the time her husband entered the war to
the day he emerged from its sufferings, its dan
gers and its glories, she was ever at his side.
In the thick of the battle she was near by to
watch him: in his hour of dependency she was
there to console and encourage him; in all his
awful suferings she was his faithful nurse and
best physician; and in the hours of his triumphs
she was the first and last to congratulate and to
cheer him. Surely, greater wifely love and de.
votion than this no angel ever recorded. Truly,
to possess such love and devotion is to enjoy
Heavens highest boon Long may she live to
enjoy her brightest reward, her husband CRATE
full love; and long may he live to reward her.

The New York Sun has an article on
what it calls 1.-The white slaves of New
York" in which it describes the toll and
suffering of 10000 to 10000 women of that
city who earn living with the needle. The
story is touching one. the more so that it
seems impossible to devise a remedy for the
extreme poverty which springs from wo-
mans inability to compete with men in the
work of the world, while her competition in
the narrow field which is open to her drags
down her sisters with herself to the verge of
starvation. ~

Tossed the Children Out of Window
From the Nep York World.

BALTIMORE, Nov. AIRS. Vogel with her two
children, occupy the second story of house on
Washington street. this city. About o'clock
yesterday morning a coal oil stove in one of the
rooms exploded and set fire to the furniture
The arrival of the engines awakened Mrs. Voge
and when she saw the smoke she screamed but
without waiting to see if any one would respond
to her calls clasped her little ones under her
arms and rushed to the window, which was
open. Then she kissed them several times in
full view of the crowd assembled below and
finally, with quick movement, she threw the
children as far out from the building as her
strength would allow. They fell 35 feet
The spectators were horror-stricken, but two
of them had presence of mind to rush forward
and catch the children before they reached the
pavement. But for this they must have been
killed, but they escaped without any injury
The frantic mother, after tossing her children
to the ground, climbed out upon the sill of the
window and was preparing to leap out when
those below called to her to stop, the fire had
been extingushed. She paused long enough for
fireman to rescue her.

The Man, the CT and the Rat.

TTUHt IIIe 4NttU IlOTtUOt DtIU.
A man was watching half grown cat chasing
a rat not much smaller than herself. "Sic

The rat became bewidered, and, in making
dash for liberty, ran up the leg of the mans
not go as far as the rat could aud with sundry
struggles, accurately recorded by scratches on
the mans legs she managed TO extricate her
self from her strange predicament, and became
an interested and critical spectator of the re-
mainder of the game, which was confined ex-
clusively to the man and the rat. 1t is not neces
sary to give minute account Of the fight from
this point, but il will suffice to say that, with the
aid of friends, another was eventually added to
the list of victories achieved by man over the
lower animals. The man is on exhibition in
proof of the truth of this story, but the rat has

DR.. McGlynn announced from the stage
of Cooper Union Friday night that he had
won his fight against his ecclesiastical
superiors and would soon resume his priesty
functions, with full liberty to continue the
advocacy of Georges land theories. This
announcement is met by fat denial from
Archbishop Corrigan, who certainly ought
to know all the facts. 1t is probable the
Archbishop is right, and the doctor is
merely playing one of the tricks he has
learned by association with politicians.

Dakota's Election.

There was an election in Dakota Territory
yesterday to settle the question of dividing
it. 1t has more than enough inhabitants to
entitle it to admission into the Union as a
State, but owing to various unsettled ques-
tons the request for admission has never
been a unanimous one. Some of the
people, it seems, want the Territory
divided. 1t is certainly large enough for
two States. 1t contains 1000 square
miles, and can, therefore, be cut into two
parts, each containing 1880 square miles
They would be very big States as far as
territory is concened-very much bigger
than Georgia, and, in fact,
bigger than the whole of New England
The proposition is to divide the Territory
by an east and west line The southern
half has about two-thirds of the population
and if the division is effected, it will at
once apply for admission into the Union.
1t is rather remarkable that any part of
the people of the northern half should favor
division; but, doubtless, they have very
good reasons for the position they occupy
with regard to the matter.
Dakota has had a wonderful growth, and
is still having it. The increase in its popu-
lation this year, up TO Oct. /, was about
10000. It's population is close on to 100000
The growth of the northwestern section of
the country is simply marvellous.
